MEP Brando Benifei says the EU “has the power” to lead efforts for a “global treaty on AI.” In comments reported by Euronews, he argues that citizens need to be attentive to potential harms from AI systems and highlights risks linked to governance, including the possibility of losing control over how such technologies are used.
The outlet presents Benifei’s remarks as a call for international coordination, positioning the proposed treaty approach as a way to address concerns that extend beyond national regulation. The focus is on risk and oversight rather than on specific drafting details or timelines. The reporting does not indicate new legislative text or negotiations underway, but frames the statement as part of the broader debate on how AI should be regulated at both EU and international levels.
